Normally, I do not write about listings because that is not what blogs are about. There are plenty of other places you can go to find information out about properties for sale - Like elsewhere on this site for instance! But I thought that I should share with you the latest status of The Merritt on Whitemarsh Island and Mercer Point, just down the road. I mentioned these two condo conversions in my article about a month ago on The Gardens on Jones because when they launched in spring, 2006, they added well over 500 new units of inventory on Savannah’s condo market, a virtual flood for our community. The Merritt is now down to about 30 units and the developers have turned over those remaining units to Cora Bett Thomas Realty and Mercer Point has around 70 units left for sale and has turned these over to an auctioneer with the auction taking place on October 11^th. THESE PROPERTIES IN BOTH COMPLEXES ARE REAL DEALS! So in the interest of helping out first time home buyers or anyone needing inexpensive housing, I do not think you could make a better move than to buy a property with what one would assume is instant equity. Go check it out! You need to move fairly fast. Please tell them I sent you! (You can even be real nice and ask them to write me in as the referring agent - smile) FYI - there are currently 228 condos for sale under $500,000 North of Victory Drive in Savannah’s “Golden Rectangle” east of MLK (formerly West Broad) and west of East Broad Street.

Until Next Week,

Ron Melander
